What Are Case Studies?
Case studies are detailed examinations of a specific subject, such as an individual, group, organization, event, or issue. They’re used to explore real-world situations and apply theoretical concepts in a practical context.
As an undergraduate researcher, case studies can help you:
Understand how theories work in practice
Analyze complex problems from multiple angles
Explore unique or exceptional examples that offer deeper insight
Develop critical thinking skills by evaluating outcomes and decisions
Case studies are especially useful in fields like business, health sciences, education, psychology, and social work. They allow you to connect academic learning with real-life applications.
